Hotel looks great inside and out. It only took two hours to get there from Dublin. The room was probably one of the best I've ever seen and unlike most hotels the bed was very comfortable and it felt very homely. The spa was good, not the best I've been to but it had just about everything. Staff were very friendly and I was very relaxed after one of the best massages I've had.
Two negative points; firstly parking is not obvious, I circled around until finally parking across the road in a multi story. There is parking just under the hotel but it's not obvious and it looks closed. Ended up having to pay €5 for the night across the road. Secondly the restaurant. There is very little that separates the bar from the restaurant. There was live music being played in the bar and this traveled through to the restaurant. Instead of a nice quiet romantic meal with my Girlfriend we had to shout over the music and it kind of ruined a perfect evening. The service at the table wasn't great, I hate being asked "Is everything okay" all the time and then when you actually need service everyone seems to have vanished.
Overall it was a great break away. Very relaxing and I felt very comfortable in the hotel. I would recommend it here but maybe go eat somewhere else if you are staying here. read more
